  8. Sorry i didnt see toby had already replied.

    Spec;

    "Powering all four models is a 750cc triple that’s derived from a Triumph 675 motor. Spirit have lengthened the stroke from 49.6mm to 55mm to increase the displacement. In fact, Spirit say they have done so much work to the engine that pretty much the only things left from Triumph are the cases. As part of the chase for more power, the compression ratio has been increased from 13.1:1 on the 675 to 13.5:1 on the standard models and 13:8.1 on the R models. This has resulted in a power increase from 126bhp at 11,900rpm to 156bhp at 14,200 and a whopping 180bhp on the R models. Despite all the performance increases, Spirit say that the bike will be no less reliable and will have reasonable service intervals as the new parts are more than capable of taking the strain."

    Really hoping this project takes off

  10. If you navigate thru the site (which isn't instantly obvious) you can see the different models and specs etc. some of the detail is fantastic, I think some of the media reporting is a bit misleading though as the model they've been showing with the 180hp motor is SL2 territory at 69K :( the 160hp "track only" version is 44k

  11. The market for high performance 750 class bikes has been pretty much dead in recent years. Spirit must be betting it is about to revive.
     
  12. i watched the vid, then was lost. Thought that was all to see. :Banghead:
     
  13. Theyre being allowed to run it in the bss championship in 2017 with the aim being a one class british moto 2 championship i think. Would love to see it myself.

  14. They're probably having to stick to the original 675cc limit for that though, the "track only" GP Corse R is a 675

    GP CORSE R SPEC

  15. If it wins, that means it will have been a Triumph win. But if it loses, it was just a Spirit - nothing to do with Triumph.
